i'm very interested in the united cutlery replica of Orcrist, the sword of Thorin from The Hobbit. I'm just wondering has anyone on this forum purchased it from the site? This would be my first order so of course i'm a bit skeptical. I just want some reassurance that the sword i would be recieving would be the one shown in the picture, as there are reviews of the United Cutlery one online and wouldn't want to receive a different product. Thanks

Im quite possibly the most prolific UC LOTR collector hanging around here these days (as you can tell from some of my collection here) & I can confirm that the UC version sold by Blades-uk is "legit" - I've not had time to wall mount the Orchist but I do have some pictures from when I unboxed it - copy below (click to zoom).

Hope that puts your mind to rest Just make sure you select the UC version and not the Noble one!
